NEWSFLASH: INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES NEEDS TO KEEP SECRETS.
9-11 was one of the most devastating intelligence faliurs yet. For some reason (ie. cutbacks during Clinton) the armed forces and the intelligence agencies failed to prevent a horrible attack on US soil. There are many reasons for this. Some that can be made public and some that cannot be made public. An example of a source that cannot be made public would be
"Why did our phone tap on OBL fail to pick up this key conversation on 5-14 2001?" or
"Why did our human intel in Pakistan fail to report this meeting between Atta and OBL on 11-11 2000?"
4- who decides its NS....no need....probably sayin ALLAH is God and mohammed is his messenger.....why the NS concern....they are NOT giving away military secrets my little pumkin.
5- again who decides its NS...we wanna see them so called people your PREZ says where guilty of Terrorism....you got pictures of them....show em....again WHY the NS...no need....no Military or Govr. secret involved

You need to upgrade your knowledge on how intelligence and counterintelligence agencies work. You also need to upgrade your knowledge on why these agencies need to keep secrets from everybody. I know this can be hard and frustrating, and I know you want to know everything. But the problem is that if we force the intelligence agencies to tell us everything they know about everything, then the bad guys will know it too.
And that is bad.
If you want to see pictures of the hijackers, they were made public around 9/14-01 or something like that. At least they were in Sweden. We had huge newspaper articles with mugshots of all the 19 hijackers.
6- you mean when the head mochissmo TELLS them to make it public
[/b]
No, I mean when they decide that information can be made public without hurting current intel operations.
7- whats the need of such secrecy...they already told us the names...we just wanna know IF they are true.....they learned to fly there....no Govr. or Military secrets involved....so no need for NS

You really dont know **** about intel and counterintel do you? Whats the need for secrecy? Suppose there are documents from that flight school that shows that 3 weeks after Atta and his crew graduated, a new batch of arab pilot students went to the same school. Suppose these characters also got enough education to fly a large jet. Suppose we have their names. Suppose we are looking for these guys. Is it good or bad to tell them and the rest of the world that "hey, we know you exist and we are looking for you right now" just so some handsomehunk liberals like yourself can put some lame-ass home-made conspiracy theory to rest?
sounds like someone uses NS to his advantage....
NS concerns are there for a reason. A reason you seem utterly unable to grasp.
